Unusual ebay item

I can't beleive someone would buy that. That guy probably had a friend buy it as a joke / publicity stunt.

Ive seen a few stupid items sold on the main kiwi auctions, Trademe.co.nz

Some comes to mind...

Empty coke bottle minus the cap <- actual Title.
ex wifes underwear (unwashed) <-- actual Title.
Last ciggarette (BUTT) by a quitter, butt sealed in a glass case where bidding went up to $600.

Chucked out ex hubbies clothes still outside on the lawn in the mud. Her auction sold $300+ .

Some idiots will buy anything form an auction providing you have given a good enough reason to sell it. And then again some are just frigging perverts!

Trademe is a true success story in our country. Back in 1999 a young guy named Sam Morgan borrowed $600, of a mate, Sam a programmer created the Trademe website (first online auction site in NZ) and had 3 working around the clock running it. In 2006 he sold Trademe for 700 Million to Fairfax Australia.

some schmuck will buy it from you."

People are so dumb they would buy BLEEP if you rapped it up in a nice way.
